Page 104 - The Nightmare of Disbelief

Why did we take this route? There is traffic congestion here…
If I had not married you, I might have spent my youth… If I
had not worn this dress, I might not have ruined my night… If
I had not gone out, I would not have got sick… If I had not trav-
eled, I would not have had an accident…If she went to another
doctor, she would recover earlier…If he had not got on that
plane, he would be alive." People spending their lives forget-
ting Allah and disregarding religion frequently say "if only"
and ultimately say the same thing in the hereafter. Yet, surely
this regret will be in vain:

If only you could see when they are standing before the
Fire and saying: "Oh! If only we could be sent back again,
we would not deny the signs of our Lord and we would be
among the believers." (Surat al-An'am: 27)
